1/ Here is how the abomination that is the AT-ST came about. Spoiler alert, it comes down to compromises & mission creep. "Initial Requirement: We need a small dropship deliverable armored sentry tower (ST) for forward operating bases with space for 4 sentries". An early sketch:
Now that Andor has given us a glimpse inside the Empire’s bureaucracy and military industrial complex, I want a “Pentagon Wars” style movie about the development of the AT-ST and the corners that were cut which resulted in it becoming easy prey for a bunch of Ewoks!.#StarWars

While @AFResearchLab has a known reputation for wasteful SBIR funding, perhaps less well covered are the ways in which its incompetence actively creates security risks. One illustration that has caught our eye has been Intelligent Fusion, which has received $20M+ from AFRL.

Mamdani is toxic. It’s absurd to believe that he won’t condemn “Globalize the intifada” because he won’t condemn any language. I’m sure if people were chanting calls for violence against Muslims in the streets of NYC he would feel free to condemn it.
I watched & listened. He won’t condemn the language because he supports the intifada. He grew up wearing a keffiyeh. He founded SJP on his campus. He marched (& was arrested) against Israel on Oct 13 (6 days after brutal terrorist massacre). He supports BDS. He is and will be.

I want to recognize the welders, composites technicians, engineers, and maintainers who built and maintained the platforms and munitions used to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It takes a village (and a strong industrial base).
. @SecDef “I want to recognize the pilots who flew those bombers. Who flew those fighters. Who flew those refuelers. Warriors. I want to recognize the sailors on those destroyers, in those subs, on the carriers. Warriors.”
